Key Data Points

The phase 1/2 trial designed for SPK-8011 included patients infused with 1 of 3 vector doses: 5x1011 vg/kg (5e11, n = 2), 1x1012 vg/kg (1e12, n = 3), and 2x1012 vg/kg (2e12, n = 9). Eligible patients were adult males with moderate (n = 1) to severe (n = 13) hemophilia A (FVIII:C ≤ 2%), low to undetectable levels of neutralizing antibodies to capsid LK03, and exposure to factor for > 150 days with no history of inhibitors. Patients were followed closely for 1 year, with long-term follow-up planned for up to 4 years.

Of the 14 patients infused with SPK-8011, 2 patients infused with the highest dose (2e12) did not maintain stable expression of FVIII. The 12 patients with stable expression demonstrated a 91% reduction in bleeding events and a 96% reduction in factor usage (not shown).

Based on the one stage assay, expression of FVIII for patients in the low dose cohort (5e11, participants 1 and 2 in graph) and middle dose cohort (1e12, participants 3-5 in graph) were between 5% and 25% for long-term follow-up durations of 2 to 3.3 years.
